A Research on "Trinity" Curriculum Design Reform Based on Application-oriented Institutions

This paper takes electronic information science and technology major as an example and illustrates how the application-oriented institutions set up the personnel training program, how they grasp the curriculum content to highlight the characteristics of undergraduate education, and to distinguish with higher vocational education. The paper proposed that the personnel training program should satisfy the social needs and promote student's sustainable development on the basis of the professional features. The curriculum design should follow the "trace back from the exit" principle, namely the best-needed professions first, then the certificates these professions required, and last the curriculums designed for students to prepare for the certificates; briefly speaking, professions, certificates, and curriculum, these three key factors are the "trinity" in curriculum design. The final purpose of reform in curriculum design is to stress "practice" in undergraduate education, to ease the undergraduates' employment crisis.
